Serena Treated For Pulmonary Embolism

People magazine is reporting that Serena Williams has undergone surgery for a pulmonary embolism- a fancy name for a blood clot in her lungs.

Williams' spokeswoman, Nicole Chabot, says that the clot was discovered last week, and that she had "emergency treatment yesterday ((meaning Monday)) for a hematoma she suffered as a result" of that treatment.
